SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

 Prior to installing, moving, and modifying the panel PC, make sure the power

is turned off and the power cord is disconnected.

 Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range. Doing

so will cause fire or an electrical shock.

 Electric shocks can occur if the panel is opened. Do not drop or insert any

objects into the ventilation openings of the panel PC.

 Only qualified engineers from certified system integrators or VARs are

allowed to make necessary functional modifications to the panel PC, e.g.,
adding a touch screen. IEI offers the customization service on a pre-order
basis.

 For installations related to human safety, connect a separately installed

mechanical switch instead of the panel PC’s power switch.

 Designs with stand-alone and fault-tolerant hardware considerations should

be implemented using the series models as a critical alarm or production line
control.

 If considerable amount of dust, water, or fluids entered the panel PC, turn off

the power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact the MPC
industrial panel PC vendor.

 Explosions may occur with installations in environments where flammable

gases are present.

 Fault-tolerant and failsafe designs should be implemented with the use of the

series models on transportation vehicles, ships, safety/security devices, or
medical devices not related to life-support functions. Users/integrators
should take the responsibility for implementation s wi th adequate levels of
reliability and safety.

 Preventive designs should be implemented so as to avoid the

communications faults between the panel PC and the
PC/workstation/terminals that controls it.

FURTHER PANEL PC PRECAUTIONS

 Do not drop the panel PC against a hard surface. Doing so will damage the

display.

 Do not strike or exert excessive force onto the touch panel.
 Touching the touch panel using a sharp object will damage the LCD panel.

Page 3

 Avoid environments exposed to direct sunlight, dust, or chemical vapors.
 The panel PC is actively cooled. In no circumstances should the panel PC

operate with the openings obstructed by foreign objects. However, the
ambient temperature of the installation site should be observed and controlled
to avoid overheating the panel PC.

 Condensation might form inside the panel PC chassis if exposed to sudden

changes in temperature.

 Carefully route the power cord so that people cannot step on it. Do not place

anything over the power cord.

 If the equipment should be left unused for an extended period of time,

disconnect it from the power source to avoid damage by transient
over-voltage.

 If any of the following situations arises, get the equipment checked by service

personnel:

PPC-5190 Flat Panel PC

o The power cord or plug is damaged.
o Liquid has penetrated into the equipment.
o The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
o The equipment does not work properly, or cannot be made to work

according to the user manual.

o The equipment has been dropped and damaged.
o The equipment shows obvious signs of breakage.

WARNING!

Any changes or modifications made to the equipment that are not
expressly approved by the relevant standards could void the authority to
operate the equipment.

ADDITIONAL INFORMA TION AND ASSISTANCE

Maintenance and Cleaning

Note the following precautions before starting to clean the p an el PC.

When cleaning any single part or component of the computer, please read and understand
the details below fully.

 Except for the properly installed front LCD panel, never spray or squirt liquids

directly onto any computer component. If the device needs to be cleaned,
please rub it with a piece of dry and soft cloth o r a slightly moistened cloth with
the exterior casing.

 The interior of the panel PC does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away

from the panel PC and the interior of it.

 Be cautious of the tiny removable components when using a vacuum cleaner

to absorb the dirt on the floor.

 Turn the system off before starting to clean up the panel PC.
 Never drop any tiny objects through the openings of the pa nel PC or get

circuit board damp or wet.

 Be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals when usingt them

for the sake of cleaning. Some individuals may be allergic to the ingredients.

 Avoid any food, drink or cigarette around the panel PC.

Cleaning T o ols

Although many companies have created products to help improve the process of cleaning

Panel PCs and peripherals, users can also use household items to clean their computers
and peripherals. Below is a list of some items that may be needed or used when cleaning
the panel PC or panel PC peripherals.

Please keep in mind that some components in panel PC com ponents may only be cleaned
using a product designed for cleaning that component, if this is the case it will be
mentioned in the cleaning tips.

Page 5

 Cloth - A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up a component.

PPC-5190 Flat Panel PC

Although paper towels or tissues can be used on most hardware as well, it is
still recommended that a piece of cloth is used to rub it.

 Water or rubbing alcohol – Moisten a piece of cloth a bit with some water or

rubbing alcohol and rub it on the computer.

 Unknown solvents may be harmful to the plastics parts.
 Vacuum cleaner - Absorb the dust, dirt, hair, cigarette particles, and other

particles out of a computer can be one of the best methods of cleaning a
computer. Over time these items can restrict the airflow in a computer and
cause circuitry to corrode.

 Cotton swabs - Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are

excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas in the keyboard, mouse, and
other locations.

 Foam swabs - Whenever possible it is better to use lint free swabs such as

foam swabs.

ESD PRECAUTIONS

Observe all conventional anti-ESD methods while handling the components contained
within the LCD should the need arise for adding a functionality. The use of a grounded
wrist strap and an anti-static work pad is recommended. Avoid dust and debris or other
static-accumulating materials in the work area.

 IDE Detect Time Out (Sec) [35]

The IDE Detect Time Out (Sec) BIOS option specifies the maximum time (in seconds) the
AMI BIOS will search for IDE devices. This allows fine-tunes the settings to allow for faster
boot times. The following configuration options are available.

 0 seconds
 5 seconds
 10 seconds
 15 seconds
 20 seconds
 25 seconds
 30 seconds
 35 seconds DEFAULT

The best setting to use if the onboard IDE controllers are set to a specific IDE disk drive in
the AMIBIOS is “0 seconds” and a large majority of ultra ATA hard disk drives can be
detected well within “5 seconds” (the default setting).

 ATA (PI) 80Pin Cable Detection [Host & Device]

When an Ultra ATA/66, an Ultra ATA/100 or an Ultra ATA/133 IDE hard disk drive is used,
an 80-conductor ATA cable must be used. The 80-conductor ATA cable is plug compatible
with the standard 40-conductor ATA cable. The system must detect the presence of
correct cable so that the AMIBIOS can instruct the drive to run at the correct speed for the
cable type detected.

The ATA (PI) 80Pin Cable Detection BIOS option determines how the IDE cable will be
detected.
